Description

COMPOSITIONSRAFRAÎCHISSANTES REFRESHING COMPOSITIONS
La présente invention se rapporte à des compositions rafraîchissantes ayant une perception de fraîcheur unique qui procure à l'utilisateur un effet de rafraîchissement plaisant sans aucune marque d'amertume. L'invention se rapporte également à des produits contenant un ou plusieurs composés rafraîchissants.The present invention relates to refreshing compositions having a unique perception of freshness which provides the user with a pleasant cooling effect without any mark of bitterness. The invention also relates to products containing one or more refreshing compounds.
Plusieurs composés sont connus pour fournir une sensation de fraîcheur lorsqu'ils sont ingérés ou mis en contact avec le corps. Il est évident que le menthol agit sur les récepteurs de froid aux extrémités nerveuses afin de provoquer cet effet de fraîcheur. Etant donné que le menthol présente une forte odeur de menthe et une grande volatilité relative, plusieurs autres composés rafraîchissants furent développés et cités dans la littérature technique comme aromatisants ou odorants dans diverses compositions topiques et ingestibles. Par exemple, le brevet américain n° 5,009,893 propose l'utilisation du menthol en combinaison avec des composés N-substitué-p-menthane carboxamide comme compositions rafraîchissantes dans les produits comestibles.Several compounds are known to provide a feeling of freshness when ingested or brought into contact with the body. It is obvious that menthol acts on the cold receptors at the nerve ends in order to cause this freshness effect. Since menthol has a strong mint odor and high relative volatility, several other refreshing compounds have been developed and cited in the technical literature as flavorings or odors in various topical and ingestible compositions. For example, US Patent No. 5,009,893 proposes the use of menthol in combination with N-substituted-p-menthane carboxamide compounds as refreshing compositions in edible products.
La demande de brevet internationale n° WO93/23005 propose des compositions rafraîchissantes pour produits topiques ou comestibles qui comprennent un cétal et un rafraîchissant secondaire qui peut être choisi parmi le menthol, les carboxamides et leurs mélanges. Plusieurs autres références y sont mentionnées qui décrivent des composés ayant une saveur ou un arôme semblables au menthol, incluant le menthyl carbinol, les saccharides esters de menthol et plusieurs amides. De même le 2,3-p-menthane diol a été décrit comme ayant un goût rafraîchissant aigu.International patent application No. WO93 / 23005 provides refreshing compositions for topical or edible products which comprise a ketal and a secondary refresher which can be chosen from menthol, carboxamides and mixtures thereof. Several other references are mentioned there which describe compounds having a flavor or aroma similar to menthol, including menthyl carbinol, saccharides esters of menthol and several amides. Likewise 2,3-p-menthane diol has been described as having a sharp refreshing taste.
La demande de brevet allemand 2 339 661 décrit des compositions aromatiques qui incluent le menthol ou des esters de menthol et d'acides carboxyliques hétérocycliques. L'ester préféré est l'ester de l'acide menthyl-2-pyrrolidone-German patent application 2,339,661 describes aromatic compositions which include menthol or esters of menthol and heterocyclic carboxylic acids. The preferred ester is the ester of menthyl-2-pyrrolidone acid-
5-carboxylique.5-carboxylic.
La demande de brevet allemand 26 08 226 décrit une composition qui présente un effet rafraîchissant physiologique. Les composés rafraîchissants décrits incluent des esters de menthol et d'acides hydroxycarboxyliques naturels ayant de 2 à 6 atomes de carbone qui sont estérifiés avec un groupe alkyle en C1-C4. L'acétate de menthyle et le lactate de menthyle constituent les composés rafraîchissants préférés de ce document. Enfin, un autre composé rafraîchissant commercialement disponible est le 3- menthoxypropane-1,2 diol.German patent application 26 08 226 describes a composition which has a physiological refreshing effect. The cooling compounds described include esters of menthol and natural hydroxycarboxylic acids having 2 to 6 carbon atoms which are esterified with a C1-C4 alkyl group. Mentethyl acetate and menthyl lactate are the preferred refreshing compounds of this document. Finally, another commercially available refreshing compound is 3-menthoxypropane-1,2 diol.
Par conséquent, plusieurs composés sont connus qui procurent des propriétés rafraîchissantes (ou réfrigérantes ou refroidissantes) et qui sont utiles dans une large gamme de produits. Cependant, il existe encore un besoin de disposer de compositions rafraîchissantes ayant un effet rafraîchissant et/ou une perception de goût améliorés. Ainsi, un objet de la présente invention est de fournir des compositions rafraîchissantes améliorées. Un autre objet de la présente invention est de fournir des compositions rafraîchissantes ayant une sensation rafraîchissante et une perception de goût uniques.Consequently, several compounds are known which provide cooling (or cooling or cooling) properties and which are useful in a wide range of products. However, there is still a need to have refreshing compositions having an improved refreshing effect and / or perception of taste. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide improved refreshing compositions. Another object of the present invention is to provide refreshing compositions having a unique refreshing sensation and taste perception.
Un autre objet de la présente invention est de fournir des compositions rafraîchissantes incluant deux ou plus agents rafraîchissants qui procurent une sensation rafraîchissante et une perception de goût complémentaires.Another object of the present invention is to provide refreshing compositions including two or more refreshing agents which provide a feeling refreshing and a complementary perception of taste.
Un autre objet de la présente invention est de fournir une nouvelle composition rafraîchissante qui utilise un rafraîchissant non-toxique ayant une sensation de fraîcheur unique et une perception de goût unique.Another object of the present invention is to provide a novel refreshing composition which uses a non-toxic refresher having a unique feeling of freshness and a unique taste perception.
Selon un premier aspect, la présente invention se rapporte à une composition sélectionnée parmi les produits topiques, les produits de soin oral, les produits de soin nasal, les produits de toilette, les produits ingestibles, les chewing-gums et les produits à fumer, le tabac à mâcher, les chiques et les produits de tabac à priser et à chiquer, qui incluent un produit de base et une quantité efficace d'un composé rafraîchissant choisi parmi le monomenthyl succinate, les sels de métaux alcalins du monomenthyl succinate et les sels de métaux alcalino-terreux du monomenthyl succinate.According to a first aspect, the present invention relates to a composition selected from topical products, oral care products, nasal care products, toiletries, ingestible products, chewing gum and smoking products, chewing tobacco, quid and snuff and chewing tobacco products, which include a base product and an effective amount of a refreshing compound selected from monomenthyl succinate, the alkali metal salts of monomenthyl succinate and salts of alkaline earth metals of monomenthyl succinate.
Selon un deuxième aspect, la présente invention se rapporte à une composition incluant un rafraîchissant choisi parmi le monomenthyl succinate, les sels de métaux alcalins du monomenthyl succinate et les sels de métaux alcalino- terreux du monomenthyl succinate formulés avec un diluant choisi parmi les aromatisants, les sirops sucrants ou édulcorants, les sirops aromatisants, les huiles aromatisantes et les huiles d'herbes.According to a second aspect, the present invention relates to a composition including a refresher chosen from monomenthyl succinate, the alkali metal salts of monomenthyl succinate and the alkaline earth metal salts of monomenthyl succinate formulated with a diluent chosen from flavorings, sweetening or sweetening syrups, flavoring syrups, flavoring oils and herbal oils.
La présente invention concerne également des compositions rafraîchissantes qui contiennent un rafraîchissant primaire sélectionné parmi le monomenthyl succinate, les sels de métaux alcalins de monomenthyl succinate et les sels de métaux alcalino-terreux de monomenthyl succinate, et au moins un composant rafraîchissant secondaire. Le monomenthyl succinate est un composé connu ayant la référence Chemical Abstracts n° 77341-67-4. Il a été utilisé, par exemple, dans le tabac à fumer tel que décrit dans le brevet américain n° 3,111,127. En particulier, ce brevet décrit un tabac à fumer qui incorpore un monoester de menthol synthétique ou naturel et d'un acide polycarboxylique aromatique ou aliphatique saturé ou insaturé ou d'un analogue substitué d'un tel acide. Ces produits de tabac furent évalués et observés comme brûlant de façon plus lente à feu latent qu'un produit témoin comparable, comme ayant une fermeté accrue, et comme nécessitant plus de bouffées sous un régime de fumée contrôlée. En outre, il s'est avéré que lorsqu'ils étaient testés du point de vue organoleptique, ces produits produisaient une fumée ayant un goût plaisant et rafraîchissant et la caractéristique aromatique du menthol. Parmi les esters d'acides polycarboxyliques sont mentionnés l'ester d'acide méthylsuceinique, le mono menthylsuccinate, le monomenthyl-α-α-diméthylsuccinate et le mono menthol- menthylsuccinate. L'article intitulé "A molecular Approach to FlavorThe present invention also relates to refreshing compositions which contain a primary refresher selected from monomenthyl succinate, the alkali metal salts of monomenthyl succinate and the alkaline earth metal salts of monomenthyl succinate, and at least one secondary refreshing component. Monomenthyl succinate is a known compound having the reference Chemical Abstracts n ° 77341-67-4. It has been used, for example, in smoking tobacco as described in US Patent No. 3,111,127. In particular, this patent describes a smoking tobacco which incorporates a synthetic or natural menthol monoester and a saturated or unsaturated aromatic or aliphatic polycarboxylic acid or a substituted analog of such an acid. These tobacco products were assessed and observed to burn more slowly over latent heat than a comparable control product, to have increased firmness, and to require more puffs under a controlled smoke regime. In addition, it was found that when tested organoleptically, these products produced a smoke with a pleasant and refreshing taste and the aromatic characteristic of menthol. Among the polycarboxylic acid esters are mentioned the methylsuceinic acid ester, mono menthylsuccinate, monomenthyl-α-α-dimethylsuccinate and mono menthol menthylsuccinate. The article entitled "A molecular Approach to Flavor
Synthesis. I .Menthol Esters of Varying Size and Polarity" Jabloner, H et Dunbar, B. I., J. of Polymer Science, vol. 18, page 2933-40 (1980) décrit une méthode pour la synthèse du monomenthyl succinate ainsi que du monomenthyl succinate de sodium et d'autres esters de menthol dérivés du monomenthyl succinate. Des solutions à 5 % en poids de plusieurs de ces esters de menthol dans des huiles minérales ou dans l'eau ont été testés par un jury de neuf dégustateurs. 5 % du dimenthyl succinate dans l'huile minérale a été jugé inodore et sans goût, 5 % du monomenthyl succinate de sodium dans l'eau a été trouvé exécrable et amer, et le monomenthyl succinate lui- même n'a pas été goûté.Synthesis. I. Menthol Esters of Varying Size and Polarity "Jabloner, H and Dunbar, BI, J. of Polymer Science, vol. 18, page 2933-40 (1980) describes a method for the synthesis of monomenthyl succinate as well as monomenthyl succinate sodium and other menthol esters derived from monomenthyl succinate. 5% by weight solutions of several of these menthol esters in mineral oils or in water were tested by a jury of nine tasters. 5% of dimenthyl succinate in mineral oil was found to be odorless and tasteless, 5% of the sodium monomenthyl succinate in water was found bitter and bitter, and the monomenthyl succinate itself was not tasted.
Il a été trouvé que, de façon surprenante et inattendue, le monomenthyl succinate, les sels de métaux alcalins du monomenthyl succinate et les sels de métaux alcalino-terreux du monomenthyl succinate utilisés dans une gamme de produits ingestibles et topiques à de basses concentrations allant jusqu'à 1 % en poids, donnaient un effet rafraîchissant de longue durée, plaisant, plutôt que le goût amer et exécrable observé par le jury de dégustateurs dans l'article de Jabloner.It has been found, surprisingly and unexpectedly, that monomenthyl succinate, the alkali metal salts of monomenthyl succinate and the alkaline earth metal salts of monomenthyl succinate used in a range of ingestible and topical products at low concentrations up to 'at 1% by weight, gave a long-lasting, pleasant refreshing effect, rather than the bitter and abhorrent taste observed by the jury of tasters in the article by Jabloner.
La présente invention concerne une composition finie choisie parmi les produits topiques, les produits de soin oral, les produits de soin nasal, les produits de toilette, les produits ingestibles, les chewing-gums, le tabac à mâcher, les chiques et les produits de tabac à priser et à chiquer, et les produits de tabac à fumer qui incluent un produit de base et une quantité efficace de composés rafraîchissants sélectionnés parmi le monomenthyl succinate, les sels de métaux alcalins du monomenthyl succinate et les sels de métaux alcalino-terreux du monomenthyl succinate (ci- après désignés collectivement par le terme "composés rafraîchissants à base de succinate").The present invention relates to a finished composition chosen from topical products, oral care products, nasal care products, toiletries, ingestible products, chewing gum, chewing tobacco, quid and chewable products. snuff and chewing tobacco, and smoking tobacco products which include a base product and an effective amount of refreshing compounds selected from monomenthyl succinate, the alkali metal salts of monomenthyl succinate and the alkaline earth metal salts of monomenthyl succinate (hereinafter collectively referred to as "succinate-based refreshing compounds").
De préférence, le rafraîchissant utilisé dans les compositions de la présente invention est sélectionné parmi le monomenthyl succinate, le monomenthyl succinate de sodium, le monomenthyl succinate de potassium, le monomenthyl succinate de lithium, le monomenthyl succinate de calcium, le monomenthyl succinate de magnésium et le monomenthyl succinate de baryum, ainsi que leurs mélanges. Il a été trouvé que de façon surprenante ces composés rafraîchissants à base de succinate, quand ils sont utilisés à des concentrations basses allant jusqu'à 1 % en poids par rapport au poids total de la composition finie dans laquelle ils sont incorporés, procurent un effet rafraîchissant plaisant et/ou de longue durée sans l'amertume qui aurait dû être observée si l'on en croit l'art antérieur. De plus, à des concentrations allant jusqu'à 1 % en poids, les composés rafraîchissants à base de succinate ne développent pas un goût accentué de menthe dans la bouche ou dans la gorge comme le font les autres rafraîchissants tels que le menthol.Preferably, the coolant used in the compositions of the present invention is selected from monomenthyl succinate, sodium monomenthyl succinate, potassium monomenthyl succinate, lithium monomenthyl succinate, calcium monomenthyl succinate, magnesium monomenthyl succinate and barium monomenthyl succinate, and mixtures thereof. It has been found that, surprisingly, these succinate-based refreshing compounds, when they are used at low concentrations of up to 1% by weight relative to the total weight of the finished composition in which they are incorporated, provide an effect. refreshing pleasant and / or long lasting without the bitterness that should have been observed if we believe the prior art. In addition, at concentrations up to 1% by weight, the succinate-based refreshing compounds do not develop an accentuated taste of mint in the mouth or in the throat as do other refreshing agents such as menthol.
Les composés rafraîchissants à base de succinate selon la présente invention procurent également, quand ils sont ingérés, un effet rafraîchissant dans une région différente de la bouche ou de la gorge que, par exemple, le menthol ou les composés rafraîchissants à base de carboxamide. Il en résulte que les composés rafraîchissants à base de succinate selon la présente invention fournissent un effet rafraîchissant complémentaire ou synergique quand ils sont combinés avec au moins un composé rafraîchissant secondaire.The succinate-based cooling compounds according to the present invention also provide, when ingested, a cooling effect in a different region of the mouth or throat than, for example, menthol or carboxamide-based cooling compounds. As a result, the succinate-based cooling compounds according to the present invention provide a complementary or synergistic cooling effect when they are combined with at least one secondary cooling compound.
En outre, les composés rafraîchissants à base de succinate conformes à la présente invention augmentent la sensation gustative de l'alcool dans les boissons alcooliques. De ce fait, les boissons alcooliques comprenant les composés rafraîchissants à base de succinate selon la présente invention sont perçus comme s'ils avaient un contenu en alcool plus élevé que les boissons alcooliques aussi fortes ne comportant pas le composé rafraîchissant à base de succinate. Le choix du composé rafraîchissant à base de succinate pour une utilisation dans une composition rafraîchissante dépendra, dans une certaine mesure, des caractéristiques de solubilité qui sont désirées. Par exemple, le monomenthyl succinate est à peine soluble dans l'eau et plus soluble dans l'huile. Par conséquent, le monomenthyl succinate est particulièrement adapté dans des environnements où la solubilité dans l'huile est avantageuse, bien que le monomenthyl succinate puisse être utilisé dans des environnements aqueux si une concentration inférieure à la limite de solubilité dans l'eau est utilisée. Les sels de métaux alcalins et alcalino-terreux du monomenthyl succinate sont substantiellement plus solubles dans l'eau et, de ce fait, sont plus utiles dans des produits où la solubilité dans l'eau est avantageuse. Les compositions finies dans lesquelles les composés rafraîchissants à base de succinate peuvent être utilisés incluent une grande variété de compositions ingestibles et de compositions topiques pour application au corps humain ou animal. Les compositions ingestibles comprennent les aliments pour consommation humaine ou animale, les boissons et les autres compositions ingérées oralement pour humains ou animaux telles que les médicaments, les produits antacides et les laxatifs, de même que les compositions de chewing- gums. Les compositions topiques comprennent une grande variété de compositions pour application aux hommes ou aux animaux telles que les articles de toilette, les produits de soins oraux, les produits de soin nasal, les lotions, les huiles et les pommades. Les produits de tabac comprennent le tabac à mâcher, les chiques, le tabac à priser, ainsi que les filtres, les papiers combustibles et les feuilles d'enrobage utilisées dans les produits de tabac à fumer.In addition, the succinate-based refreshing compounds according to the present invention increase the taste sensation of alcohol in alcoholic beverages. Therefore, alcoholic beverages comprising the succinate-based refreshing compounds according to the present invention are perceived as if they had a higher alcohol content than alcoholic beverages as strong not containing the succinate-based refreshing compound. The choice of the refreshing compound based on succinate for use in a refreshing composition will depend, to some extent, on the solubility characteristics which are desired. For example, monomenthyl succinate is hardly soluble in water and more soluble in oil. Therefore, monomenthyl succinate is particularly suitable in environments where oil solubility is advantageous, although monomenthyl succinate can be used in aqueous environments if a concentration below the water solubility limit is used. The alkali and alkaline earth metal salts of the monomenthyl succinate are substantially more soluble in water and therefore are more useful in products where solubility in water is advantageous. The finished compositions in which the succinate-based refreshing compounds can be used include a wide variety of ingestible compositions and topical compositions for application to the human or animal body. Ingestible compositions include foods for human or animal consumption, beverages and other compositions orally ingested for humans or animals such as drugs, antacids and laxatives, as well as chewing gum compositions. Topical compositions include a wide variety of compositions for application to humans or animals such as toiletries, oral care products, nasal care products, lotions, oils and ointments. Tobacco products include chewing tobacco, quid, snuff, as well as filters, combustible paper, and coating sheets used in smoking tobacco products.

The sugarless candies typically have higher boiling points than corresponding sugar based candies and therefore any flavoring product added to them must be stable at higher temperatures so that they can be successfully added to sugarless candy. Sugar-free candies can include hard boiled sugar candies, pectin candies, chew candies, and filled candies. Additionally, sugarless chewing gum can be made in accordance with the present invention. The amount of cooling composition to be incorporated into sugarless candies and / or sugarless gums is the same as that which would be used for the corresponding sugar based candies or gums.

Certain compositions according to the present invention are illustrated in the following examples.
Procédure expérimentale pour les exemples :Experimental procedure for the examples:
Pour chacun des exemples 1 à 10 qui suivent, un panel de dégustation composé de 10 à 12 personnes a goûté les produits. Les dégustateurs avaient été instruits d'avoir à donner des informations sur l'effet rafraîchissant et tout goût désagréable, et de fournir tout commentaire qu'ils pouvaient avoir. Les résultats suivants ont été obtenus à partir de ces essais.For each of examples 1 to 10 which follow, a tasting panel composed of 10 to 12 people tasted the products. The tasters had been instructed to give information on the refreshing effect and any unpleasant taste, and to provide any comments they might have. The following results were obtained from these tests.
Exemple 1 ; Bonbon durExample 1; Hard candy
Une formulation de bonbon dur a été préparée à partir de 120 grammes de sucre, 30 grammes d'eau, 80 grammes de sirop de glucose et 0,1 % en poids, par rapport au poids de la composition, d'arôme de cannelle (formule témoin) . La formulation a été divisée en trois parties. 0,05 % en poids, par rapport au poids de la composition, de monomenthyl succinate a été ajouté à l'une des formulations de bonbon dur, et 0,05 % en poids, par rapport au poids de la composition d'une composition rafraîchissante disponible commercialement(WS3tm de Wilkinson-Sword) a été ajoutée à l'autre formulation de bonbon dur aux fins de comparaison.A formulation of hard candy was prepared from 120 grams of sugar, 30 grams of water, 80 grams of glucose syrup and 0.1% by weight, relative to the weight of the composition, of cinnamon flavor ( control formula). The formulation has been divided into three parts. 0.05% by weight, based on the weight of the composition, of monomenthyl succinate was added to one of the hard candy formulations, and 0.05% by weight, based on the weight of the composition of a composition commercially available refreshing (WS3 tm from Wilkinson-Sword) was added to the other hard candy formulation for comparison.
Le jury a trouvé que la formulation de bonbon dur contenant le monomenthyl succinate fournissait un effet rafraîchissant plaisant, de longue durée, tandis qu'aucun effet rafraîchissant n'était observé dans le témoin. Aucune saveur de menthe n'a été remarquée par le jury de dégustation. La formulation de bonbon dur contenant le WS3tm a également fourni un effet rafraîchissant, bien que le jury de dégustation ait conclu que l'effet rafraîchissant du WS3tm se manifestait dans une région différente de la bouche et de la gorge que l'effet rafraîchissant du monomenthyl succinate selon l'invention.The jury found that the formulation of hard candy containing monomenthyl succinate provided a pleasant, long-lasting cooling effect, while no cooling effect was observed in the witness. No mint flavor was noticed by the tasting jury. The hard candy formulation containing WS3 tm also provided a refreshing effect, although the tasting panel concluded that the refreshing effect of WS3 tm manifested in a different region of the mouth and throat than the refreshing effect of the monomenthyl succinate according to the invention.
Exemple 2 ; Comprimés pressés Du dextrose Royal T (sucre pour compression) a été comprimé en deux comprimés, l'un contenant simplement du dextrose (témoin) et l'autre contenant 0,1 % en poids de monomenthyl succinate. Le jury de dégustation a remarqué un effet rafraîchissant plaisant pour le comprimé contenant le monomenthyl succinate et aucun effet rafraîchissant pour le comprimé témoin à base de dextrose.Example 2; Pressed tablets Royal T dextrose (sugar for compression) was compressed into two tablets, one containing just dextrose (control) and the other containing 0.1% by weight of monomenthyl succinate. The tasting jury noticed a pleasant refreshing effect for the tablet containing the monomenthyl succinate and no refreshing effect for the control tablet based on dextrose.
Exemple 3 ; Produit de rinçaσe dentaire Quatre échantillons d'une formulation de produit de rinçage dentaire ayant la composition suivante ont été testés:Example 3; Dental rinse product Four samples of a dental rinse formulation having the following composition were tested:

Les effets rafraîchissants du monomenthyl succinate de l'arôme de menthe du produit de rinçage et du WS3 ont été trouvés être complémentaires dans le quatrième échantillon qui contenait les trois produits rafraîchissants.The four mouth rinse formulations tested were as follows: one did not contain an additive (control), another contained .004% by weight of monomenthyl succinate, another contained .004% by weight of WS3 tm , and the last contained .002% by weight of monomenthyl succinate and .002% by weight of WS3. The tasting jury noted a refreshing effect in the three compositions, although the jury concluded that each of the four samples of dental rinse had a different taste and that the refreshing effect of monomenthyl succinate was manifested in a different region from mouth and throat as the refreshing effect of WS3 tm and rinse aid. The refreshing effects of the rinse aid mint flavoring monomenthyl succinate and WS3 were found to be complementary in the fourth sample which contained the three refreshing products.
Exemple 4 : Produit de rinçage dentaire contenant du monomenthyl succinate de sodiumExample 4 Dental Flushing Product Containing Sodium Monomenthyl Succinate
Les quatre mêmes formulations de rinçage dentaire telles que préparées à l'exemple 3 ont été testées du point de vue du goût, à l'exception du fait que le monomenthyl succinate de sodium avait été substitué au monomenthyl succinate, dans les mêmes quantités. Le jury de dégustation a trouvé que les produits de rinçage de bouche contenant le monomenthyl succinate de sodium présentaient une sensation rafraîchissante de longue durée, plaisante, sans amertume. Le jury de dégustation a également noté que la sensation de rafraîchissement du monomenthyl succinate de sodium était perçue à un point légèrement en avant du point dans la bouche et dans la gorge où la sensation rafraîchissante du monomenthyl succinate avait été perçue dans les tests de goût effectués à l'exemple 3. Le monomenthyl succinate de sodium a également été jugé comme possédant un effet rafraîchissant complémentaire quand il était combiné avec le produit WS3tm. Exemple 5 ; Boisson carbonatéeThe same four dental rinse formulations as prepared in Example 3 were tested for taste, except that the sodium monomenthyl succinate had been substituted for the monomenthyl succinate, in the same amounts. The tasting jury found that the mouthwash containing sodium monomenthyl succinate had a long-lasting, pleasant refreshing feeling without bitterness. The tasting jury also noted that the refreshing sensation of sodium monomenthyl succinate was perceived at a point slightly in front of the point in the mouth and in the throat where the refreshing sensation of the monomenthyl succinate had been perceived in the taste tests carried out in Example 3. The sodium monomenthyl succinate was also judged to have a additional refreshing effect when combined with the product WS3 tm . Example 5; Carbonated drink
Quatre échantillons chacun de boisson carbonatée à base de citron et de citron vert ont été préparées, l'un sans additif (témoin), un autre avec .004 % en poids de monomenthyl succinate, un autre avec .004 % en poids de WS3tm et le dernier avec .002 % en poids de monomenthyl succinate et .002 % en poids de WS3 m.

Un effet rafraîchissant a été noté dans les boissons ayant un titre en alcool de 20 et 40 contenant le monomenthyl succinate mais pas dans la boisson ayant un titre de 80.Three different alcoholic beverages were prepared using 17.00 grams of high fructose glucose syrup, 140.89 grams of water and 21.05, 42.11 and 84.22 grams of title alcohol 190 so as to obtain alcoholic title drinks equal to 20.40 and 80 respectively. To the samples of each of the three alcoholic drinks was added 0.07% by weight of monomenthyl succinate. A refreshing effect was noted in drinks having an alcohol content of 20 and 40 containing the monomenthyl succinate but not in the drink having a alcohol content of 80.
De ce fait, un nouvel échantillon de boisson de titre en alcool égal à 80 a été préparé, en utilisant une concentration plus élevée de monomenthyl succinate et, à ce niveau de plus haute concentration, un effet rafraîchissant plaisant, et de longue durée a été observé par le jury de dégustation. De plus, le jury de dégustation a conclu que le monomenthyl succinate augmentait la sensation gustative de l'alcool dans toutes les boissons alcooliques et, de ce fait, les boissons alcooliques de titre 20, 40 et 80 incluant du monomenthyl succinate étaient perçues chacune au niveau du goût comme si leur contenu en alcool était plus élevé que la boisson témoin correspondante ayant la même teneur en alcool mais pas de composé rafraîchissant. Exemple 9 ; Chewing-gumAs a result, a new beverage sample of alcoholic strength equal to 80 was prepared, using a higher concentration of monomenthyl succinate and, at this higher concentration level, a refreshing effect. pleasant, and long lasting was observed by the tasting jury. In addition, the tasting jury concluded that monomenthyl succinate increased the taste sensation of alcohol in all alcoholic beverages and, therefore, alcoholic beverages of title 20, 40 and 80 including monomenthyl succinate were each perceived at level of taste as if their alcohol content was higher than the corresponding control drink having the same alcohol content but no refreshing compound. Example 9; Chewing gum
Une gomme base conventionnelle a été utilisée pour cet exemple. A cette base de chewing-gum a été ajouté 1.0 % en poids d'arôme de mélange de fruits rouges. Ensuite, à l'un des échantillons de chewing-gum a été ajouté 0.30 % en poids de monomenthyl succinate. Le jury de dégustation a remarqué dans le chewing-gum contenant du monomenthyl succinate un effet rafraîchissant agréable, de longue durée, à l'arrière de la bouche et de la gorge. De plus, aucun goût de menthe n'était perceptible. Exemple 10 : Bonbon sans sucreA conventional base compound was used for this example. To this chewing gum base was added 1.0% by weight of aroma of mixture of red fruits. Then, to one of the chewing gum samples was added 0.30% by weight of monomenthyl succinate. The tasting jury noticed in the chewing gum containing monomenthyl succinate a pleasant, long-lasting refreshing effect on the back of the mouth and throat. In addition, no taste of mint was noticeable. Example 10: Sugarless Candy
Des bonbons coulés sans sucre à base de sorbitol ont été préparés en chauffant un kilo de sirop de sorbitol à 170°C, en refroidissant le sirop de sorbitol à 135°C, en ajoutant 12 grammes d'acide citrique tout en agitant et en refroidissant cette composition jusqu'à 110°C. A cet instant, 20 grammes de poudre de sorbitol et l'aromatisant incluant 0.05 % en poids, par rapport au poids de la composition, de monomenthyl succinate, ont été ajoutés à la formulation de bonbon sans sucre tout en mélangeant lentement. Finalement, les bonbons ont été coulés et laissés durcir. Le jury de dégustation a trouvé que la formulation de bonbon dur sans sucre contenant du monomenthyl succinate fournissait un effet rafraîchissant agréable et de longue durée. Exemples 11-14 et exemples comparatifs A-BSugar-free sorbitol-based candies were prepared by heating one kilogram of sorbitol syrup to 170 ° C, cooling the sorbitol syrup to 135 ° C, adding 12 grams of citric acid while stirring and cooling this composition up to 110 ° C. At this time, 20 grams of sorbitol powder and the flavoring agent including 0.05% by weight, relative to the weight of the composition, of monomenthyl succinate, were added to the sugarless candy formulation while mixing slowly. Finally, the candies were poured and allowed to harden. The tasting jury found that the formulation of sugar-free hard candy containing monomenthyl succinate provided a pleasant and long-lasting refreshing effect.

Utilisation du monomenthyl succinate dans les filtres de cigarettes, en combinaison avec le menthol dans le tabac.Use of monomenthyl succinate in cigarette filters, in combination with menthol in tobacco.
Les joncs de tabac de quelques cigarettes internationales standard et de cigarettes connues sous le nom de "flue-cured" ont reçu chacun une injection de 20 μl d'une solution à 10 % de cristaux de menthol dans l'ethanol.Les cigarettes dans lesquelles a été injecté le menthol ont alors été divisées en cinq lots. 20 μl, 30 μl, 40 μl et 50 μl d'une solution à 1 % de monomenthyl succinate dans la triacétine ont été injectés dans les filtres des quatre premiers lots de cigarettes, le cinquième lot étant utilisé comme témoin. Chaque lot de cigarettes comprenait un témoin ne comportant ni menthol ni monomenthyl succinate, une cigarette incluant seulement du menthol, une cigarette incluant seulement du monomenthyl succinate, et une cigarette incluant à la fois du menthol et du monomenthyl succinate.The tobacco bars of some standard international cigarettes and cigarettes known as "flue-cured" were each injected with 20 μl of a 10% solution of menthol crystals in ethanol. was injected menthol were then divided into five lots. 20 μl, 30 μl, 40 μl and 50 μl of a 1% solution of monomenthyl succinate in triacetin were injected into the filters of the first four batches of cigarettes, the fifth batch being used as a control. Each batch of cigarettes included a control containing neither menthol nor monomenthyl succinate, a cigarette including only menthol, a cigarette including only monomenthyl succinate, and a cigarette including both menthol and monomenthyl succinate.
Un panel de fumeurs experts (PFE) ont allumé, fumé et testé chaque lot des cigarettes d'essai et ont trouvé qu'à un taux de 0.2 μl de monomenthyl succinate et en l'absence de menthol, il n'y avait pas d'effet rafraîchissant. A 0.3 μl de monomenthyl succinate et en l'absence de menthol, un effet rafraîchissant léger a été noté. A un taux de 0.4 μl de monomenthyl succinate, un effet rafraîchissant élevé avec un arrière-goût rafraîchissant a été noté par le PFE. A un taux de 0.5 μl de monomenthyl succinate, l'effet rafraîchissant a encore paru plus évident au PFE et aucune augmentation de la note parfumée de la menthe du menthol n'a été notée. Cependant, une augmentation mineure de l'irritation a été observée par le PFE à ce niveau de monomenthyl succinate. Le PFE a conclu que le monomenthyl succinate injecté dans le filtre des cigarettes avait un effet rafraîchissant sur la fumée et procurait un caractère rafraîchissant persistant dans la bouche sans altérer de façon significative la note aromatisante du menthol dans le tabac. Exemple 15 ; utilisation de monomenthyl succinate avec l'agent rafraîchissant WSS*3" dans les filtres et du menthol dans le jonc de tabacA panel of expert smokers (PFE) lit, smoked and tested each batch of test cigarettes and found that at a rate of 0.2 μl of monomenthyl succinate and in the absence of menthol, there was no d 'refreshing effect. At 0.3 μl of monomenthyl succinate and in the absence of menthol, a slight refreshing effect was noted. At a level of 0.4 μl of monomenthyl succinate, a high refreshing effect with a refreshing aftertaste was noted by the PFE. At a rate of 0.5 μl of monomenthyl succinate, the refreshing effect appeared even more evident at the PFE and no increase in the fragrance note of menthol mint was noted. However, a minor increase in irritation was observed by PFE at this level of monomenthyl succinate. The PFE concluded that the monomenthyl succinate injected into the filter of cigarettes had a refreshing effect on the smoke and provided a persistent refreshing character in the mouth without significantly altering the flavoring note of menthol in tobacco. Example 15; use of monomenthyl succinate with the cooling agent WSS * 3 "in the filters and menthol in the tobacco cane
Les joncs de tabac de cigarettes choisies comme dans les exemples 1 à 4 ci-dessus ont reçu une injection de 20 μl d'une solution à 10 % de cristaux de menthol dans l'ethanol. Les cigarettes ayant subi une injection de menthol ont été divisées en deux lots. 45 μl d'une solution à 1 % de monomenthyl succinate dans la triacétine et 15 μl d'une solution à 1 % de WSS^" dans la triacétine ont été injectés dans le filtre d'un lot des cigarettes contenant le menthol.The tobacco tobacco rods chosen as in Examples 1 to 4 above received an injection of 20 μl of a 10% solution of menthol crystals in ethanol. The menthol injected cigarettes were divided into two lots. 45 μl of a 1% solution of monomenthyl succinate in triacetin and 15 μl of a 1% solution of WSS ^ "in triacetin were injected into the filter of a batch of cigarettes containing menthol.
Le PFE a observé un effet rafraîchissant intense et une légère amélioration des notes de parfum aromatique et de menthe du menthol, en comparaison du témoin contenant le menthol. Aucune augmentation de l'irritation n'a été observée. Le panel a conclu qu'à ces taux d'utilisation, un effet synergique existait entre les -deux agents rafraîchissants.The PFE observed an intense refreshing effect and a slight improvement in the aromatic and mint notes of menthol, compared to the control containing menthol. No increase in irritation was observed. The panel concluded that at these use rates, a synergistic effect existed between the two cooling agents.
